Since you responded, It'd be absolutely fantastic to have 1 of the following solution pairs:
[
1. Post automod rules
OR
2. Let users know when their comments and submissions are removed. I shouldn't have to use a 3rd party to know whether or not my item was removed while I'm logged in.
]
AND
[
3. Have public moderation logs
OR
4. Require automod to respond to EVERYTHING that gets auto-removed (IE, the removal/filter rule doesn't work unless there's a response comment).
]
One of the biggest issues new users face is they don't know what's going on. They're unaware their posts/comments are removed (point 4 would address this) and they're unaware of who's doing it (Point 3 would address this). We need a better system to moderate the moderators, as I say. As a former mod on another (now deleted) account, mods have a disturbing lack of both moderation transparency options and ways to protect their own privacy for their personal account. Recent changes (such as the online indicator) seem to be making this harder and harder.
If you want, we could go to DMs to talk about this further. As a SWE myself and one that has managed not just one but 4 different (non-reddit) communities, Reddit by far has the least amount of user/moderation interaction friendly options that I feel like are 50% of the way to where they should be.

Exactly. Some transparency would be great. As it is there is near zero accountability for stupid or even site rule breaking automod configs.
